American Lawn Mower 1304-14GC 14" 5-Blade Reel Mower with Grass Catcher

This is the perfect mower for a grass that you can walk in under 20 minutes. If it is bigger than that I would recommend a wider one. The Mower is well built and comes out of the box really sharp. Assembly is under 10 min. The light weight makes it great for either my wife to use and she likes the blue color. We are recently retired and have taken to this as a sort of exercise routine. The leaf catcher works but you have to make sure it is well snaped on or it will fall off a lot. Also it throws grass to the left so works best if moving around the yard in a clockwise pattern

Wet satisfied with this product. It is simple to build, works well, and almost puts you in a meditative state by the sound and the feels. My only issue is that when even a small stick gets between 2 blades it can halt suddenly. Easy fix but make sure to remove as many sticks as possible before using. Otherwise a great product. Hell of a cardio/upper body workout to boot.

Works well for my purpose. My husband uses a regular mower but he's gone for a while and I can't even get the gas powered one going. This baby keeps things looking good until he returns.

I really wanted to like this item. If you have too tall of grass, it's a problem, if you have super uneven ground to cover, it's a problem, weeds? Also a problem. Couldn't get the handle pieces on either. The grass catcher is just a waste of money, doesn't catch hardly anything AND gets in your way. 0/10 do NOT recommend. Would have been better off getting a weed eater for my tiny yard.

Very easy to assemble. Mows the grass well and makes a very sharp and clean cut on the grass. Ensure you are oiling it after every use and it will probably squeak anyway. Lightweight and I love the idea of no gas or batteries. I still use my battery mower for the heavy lifting but this one does cleanup and quick mows. The grass catcher is absolute garbage. The grass catcher is flimsy, falls apart, and if you have to back up for any reason it will fall off. Moreover, the grass catcher only collects about half of the clippings. Mower is a great value, the grass catcher (with slight modification) is only semi-functional.

Love the lightness and small footprint. I only have to do the strip between my sidewalk and the street. The bag Catcher is underwhelming, does not work to well. The only major complaint is that it does not move much when pulling backwards and flips up. My old one was about 60. Plus years old and had no problem be pulled backwards. Makes the same sound as my old one. I have it on the highest setting for the 1st few cuts this season. Did not take out the old dandelion stems (see picture) . I did notice the neighbors yard who power mows, that it also missed a few dandelion stems. The second picture shows the crisp cut on the edge. Oh and I like the Powder Blue color !

Works great . It'll take some elbow grease the first time, if you're grass is already tall. Then every week , after that ,just stay on top of cutting the grass, and it'll be easier to maintain . It's not that quiet, imo, I was expecting quieter . I think I'll spray some oil, or I may try Evinrude engine tuner and spray the contact points to see if I can get it a little quieter. Blades are sharp , and cuts the grass very well. Edit: you have to adjust the four chrome flathead screws in the back and that moves the one long blade that sits in the back/bottom, . It'll move it far back enough to where the metal blades are no longer touching and it's completely quiet. I adjusted mine so they touch but not too much. And it is a lot quieter. I feel like having them not touching wasn't cutting the grass as nice. Maybe just personal opinion.

Sorry American Lawn Mower Company, your 7 blade mower is no better that the 5 blade Scotts Reel Mower. After using the Scotts 5 blade Reel mower for about 10 full cuts of my small 2000 sqft hybrid bermuda yard, I couldn't take the frustration anymore of the washboard look of my turf and having to stop every five feet to restart in order to regain reel speed. So, I returned it to Home Depot and purchased the 7 blade reel mower from American Lawn Mower Company. It was delivered and used today, 6/30/23, for the first time. Very disappointed in this mower. If any of you mower manufacturers want to corner the market on manual reel mowers make one that works on short Bermuda because I am convinced there isn't one that exists. I'll pay twice the price if you'll make one that works. The only way I can even make one good pass on my turf is to push it forward very quickly with my arms (to maximize reel speed) and stop. Then repeat, then repeat then repeat. If I try to maintain any sort of consistent speed I will come to a thicker patch of Bermuda and the wheels will slide across the turf because the reel is bogging down. You can see in the photo I posted that I am not cutting a lot of length off. The barely distinguishable contrast in the grass height is the amount of grass length I am cutting off. I am cutting at 3/4"-1" height. The only thing I know to try is the raise the cut and see if it works better. To the manufacturer: I challenge you to visit me here in NC and see your own equipment at work. I am serious. Maybe you can make some improvements to your design to satisfy the reel mower fans out there. Until then, I guess I will be shopping for a gas powered reel mower to get the job done. Please don't reply to my review with a thank you and that you value customer feedback. Instead, make a machine that works. Let me point out, before anyone asks or questions my review...the grass wasn't wet, I wasn't cutting more than a 1/3 of the blade, I was walking at a pace to maintain reel speed but not bog down the reel, and I am very experienced in turf maintenance.

Bin mit dem Rasenmäher sehr zufrieden, würde wieder kaufen.

Didn't work well for me. Missing grass and poor performance. Not value for money.

Ligera y práctica, corta mejor que las desbrozadoras pues no troza el pasto
